Testimonials

Bob Avallone was employed as a Software Engineer from 2012 - 2016. During
his time at CHIA, Bob was responsible for rewriting and supporting our Casemix
application. Bob wrote in VB.NET and used SQL Server 2012 as the backend. Bob
also wrote windows services to manage the applications Bob fulfilled employment
responsibilities with little supervision. The position required interaction
with the many liaisons we have working at CHIA. I am happy to act as a
reference for Bob and can speak to his development skills, work ethic, computer
literacy, and professionalism.

Our client, Computerworld Magazine, needed an
internet-based system built in two weeks capable of servicing thirteen national
events and upwards of 200,000+ contacts. Bob Avallone of MetaPro Systems built
for us a robust, highly useable system using .NET technologies. The project was
delivered on time and within budget. I highly recommend MetaPro Systems for
.NET and internet development.

I am the publisher of Beacon Hill Roll Call- a
report syndicated to newspapers across Massachusetts...

Several years ago, an Access database was developed
for me to accomplish this tailored localization. The database generated reports
in Notepad. Recently, many of our subscribing newspaper editors asked that the
report be generated in Word in order to make it easier to edit...

My next step was to search the Internet for database
developers. I found several including Bob Avallone of MetaPro Systems Inc. I
did not initially hire Bob. I hired a person who already had a full-time job
with a company and was "moonlighting" on the side as a "computer consultant."
He charged an inexpensive hourly rate. I paid him for several hours but he was
unable to solve the problem. He then became so busy with this full-time job
that he told me it would he several more weeks before he could devote any more
time to my project. And he doubted that has would be successful in fixing it

I quickly went back and called Bob Avallone who
offered to do the project for a flat fixed fee and an unusual and much
appreciated guarantee that he would solve the problems or refund my money.
Within a few days, Bob came back with a solution that completely solved all the
problems. I was happy and the newspaper editors were ecstatic.

Bob was professional knowledgeable and easy to work
with, highly cooperative and had a great sense of humor throughout the project.
I highly recommend Bob and MetaPro Systems Inc. to anyone who needs to create
or improve an Access database or has any problems with Access. I only wish I
had hired Bob in the first place.

I am so grateful to you for sharing
your expert software skills with us. You solved a problem that otherwise might
have delayed our annual direct mail fund raising campaign and carried out your
effort virtually overnight, which was a real gift to our volunteers!

Director Operation Hope

I recently hired Robert Avallone to create a
Windows executable that would be called by a program that is part of a software
product that I produce.

Mr. Avallone produced the program in a timely and
correct manner, and the program met my specifications exactly. When at one
point I thought I had a problem with his program (it turned out later that the
problem was with the user, not Mr. Avallone's program), he was willing to work
with me, per our contract, to make sure that the fault was not with his
program.

Later, I discovered a problem with my software that
necessitated Mr. Avallone's creating a second Windows executable - completely
unrelated to the first problem he had solved for me. It was a small piece of
programming, but Mr. Avallone, realizing that I was up against a deadline,
wrote the program emailed it to me very quickly. I think that this was truly
above and beyond the call of duty, and I really appreciated Mr. Avallone going
the extra mile for me.

Bobs work was consistently professional and thorough. He was
effective at adapting and learning new technologies. The end customer was
pleased with his work efforts.

As an
administrator, Bob learned the Perforce source control product and provided
training and technical support for 175 users. The user community ran the range
from highly technical to casual users. His documentation efforts were a direct
influence on reducing the administrative workload from a full time position to
a 2 hour per day or less position. Of particular note were his tips and
tricks notes. These notes were an effective reference and significantly
reduced the need for administrators to address common user questions.
Bobs consistently pleasant and helpful approach to his administrative
duties was a key element in having a satisfied user community.

As the
administrator role diminished, Bob was asked to develop a set of tools. The
objective of these tools was to automate the primary administrator activities.
The resulting system runs on the corporate intranet and allows junior level
individuals to provide primary administrative functions.

Neal Firth - Chief Operating Officer - The Infrastructure
Group Inc.

...Bob is organized, technically
competent and has the ability to work both independently as well as part of a
team. Bob completed several projects for us thoroughly and delivered them in a
timely fashion. Besides his development and support efforts, Bob also acted as
a mentor to a junior developer, bringing him along and improving his technical
skills.

The quality of your work has always been excellent. You have always
responded quickly and courteously to our many requests for changes. You have
always been willing to put it extra time to meet a deadline when necessary.

Bob was a member of a team responsible for developing a major part of
a Commission Processing System. The system was coded in Visual Basic 5 and
Oracle for Windows NT and applied an evolutionary design.

Bob proved to be a competent and reliable member of the team with
excellent skills in the technology selected for this project. He worked well as
a team member and offered appropriate suggestions for improvement in both the
product, and process. He adapted well to the fast pace and frequent changes Bob
maintained high professional standards and integrity.

I recommend Bob as a strong member of a software development project
particularly using the environment and software platform used here.

Joe Johnston - Principal Consultant -
Keane Inc.

Please accept my "thank you" for a job well-done ... When we called on
you, it was for the purpose of taking-over where a previous consultant had
dropped the ball.

You quickly stepped in and exhibited the degree of competence and
technical leadership needed to get the project back on track. I found you
pleasant and agreeable to work with, hard-working, and diligent. You seem to be
well-versed in most aspects of project management and possess solid programming
and development skills using Visual Basic 4.

Bob Avallone has been working in my organization for the past six
months ...

Bob's most outstanding asset is that he genuinely cares about the
quality of the products he develops and maintains. He proved to be one of the
keys to the success of our system. I would strongly recommend Bob as a contract
consultant for a senior programmer/analyst position.

Having worked directly with Bob Avallone for the past year, I wanted
to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the contributions Bob has
made to this organization.

Bob not only demonstrates the necessary qualifications of an IS
person, he goes far beyond them. As a consultant to Digital Equipment
Corporation he was assigned as a programmer for an application that was going
to be installed across the corporation. When the project leader left the
project during the design and development phase, Bob was temporarily assigned
co-manager of the project. His knowledge of the project and his willingness to
step in at such a critical point in the design and development phase
demonstrated the professionalism that proved necessary to succeed. His
expertise and project management skills were instrumental in getting the
application to field test.

Bob was paramount in getting the project
organized and back on track. He continued his programming assignments while
co-managing the project, and participated in a significant portion of the
design effort. He was also was responsible for the support of several
additional applications. This resulted in a very heavy workload.

Bob was always willing to put in the extra
effort needed to maintain continuity of the project, and a quality operating
environment. Bob is easy to work with, displays exceptional ability in
obtaining user requirements from the business community, and maintains a
professional attitude even during extremely critical times.

Bob consistently puts out a high level quality
of work, and can handle any situation that develops; he either solves it
himself, or is able to coordinate a solution between multiple organizations. He
is a highly dependable individual, and is largely responsible for the success
of the project. I would really enjoy working with Bob again if the opportunity
presented itself.
